A thought provoking read. I am disappointed the RHS don’t open up to local people, particularly given the social and economic disparities in the local area. A free local’s pass is surely not too much to ask? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Thank you 🫂@michaelrosenyes.bsky.social 👏 Never have I been made to feel so ashamed by a Labour Prime Minister. (He says he’s Labour, but I can’t think of any Labour values he upholds, but perhaps I haven’t been concentrating )

On Sunday @tonydartmoor.bsky.social @guyshrubsole.bsky.social and I responded to a tip-off from a wild camper of burns high on Dartmoor - suspected on deep peat. We're still waiting to hear back from @naturalengland.bsky.social - was permission given, or was this an illegal burn of a blanket bog?

'Something absolutely heinous has happened.' @mrjamesob.bsky.social thinks it's 'beyond belief' that White House officials will likely get away with the 'most egregious national security breach' because Trump has 'created an ecosystem in which nothing matters.'

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

“Humanity has become an anti-ecosystem, anti-life entity. This means that, unlike other species, including parasites, modern humans are of zero use to Earth at this point. Our only chance of remaining in existence is if we end our war with the planet and make ourselves useful to the ecosystem again”

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

When there’s a lot going on in the world, our leaders need to remember there is still an environmental crisis, much of which is fixable, if only there were the will.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Stephanie Kelton - "We can, and must, tax the rich. But not because we can't afford to do anything without them. We should tax billionaires to rebalance the distributions of wealth and income and to protect the health of our democracy" France to introduce a 2% wealth tax on those worth over €100m.

Cutting overseas aid to pay for defence. A very strange trade off imho.

We won't help solve a dual climate change and biodiversity crisis by continuing to think, and act like, we know better than nature. We don't. That mentality is exactly what has created the problem.
